Installation of receptacle at the bottom of the stairs for a chairlift The reason for today’s visit was to install a receptacle for the chairlift be installed on the stairs. We spoke to the chairlift company that stated that the lift pulls next to nothing so it does not need a dedicated circuit. We tapped power out of the switch in the laundry room and drop straight down the wall and install a new duplex receptacle at the bottom of the stairs.
